Study Endpoints
Primary Endpoints
1-Year Disease-free survival (DFS)
At 1 year

Proportion of patients who have not experienced disease recurrence/progression or death from any cause at 1 year from start of treatment. Radiologic (CT or MRI) imaging as well as direct visualization by laryngoscopy will be used to assess disease with recurrence requiring a biopsy to be considered positive.

Secondary Endpoints
Overall Survival (OS)
Up to 5 years
Larynx preservation rate
Up to 5 years
Endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES)
At Baseline, at 9 weeks, at 6 months after start of treatment, up to 1 year

Treatment Arms
ArmTypeDescription
toripalimab + carboplatin + paclitaxelEXPERIMENTALPrior to treatment: Assessments include laryngoscopy and anatomic imaging studies Treatment: toripalimab 240mg IV with carboplatin (AUC 5) and paclitaxel (175 mg/m\^2) IV every 3 weeks for two cycles. (Cisplatin 75mg/m\^2 can be used in place of carboplatin at the investigator's discretion.) After 2 Cycles of Treatment: Repeat laryngoscopy and anatomic imaging studies. Undergo swallowing function and extranodal extension status assessment.
Post-bioselection: Chemoradiation + toripalimab monotherapyEXPERIMENTALPatients with PR ≥50% (not CR) with preserved swallowing function or CR, with preoperative N+ disease and extranodal extension upon neck dissection. Induction Treatment: toripalimab 240mg IV+carboplatin (AUC 5)+paclitaxel (175 mg/m\^2) IV Q Continuation Treatment: toripalimab 240mg IV + carboplatin (AUC 5) + paclitaxel (175 mg/m\^2) IV Q + Radiation therapy as per the Intervention Description + toripalimab 240mg IV monotherapy for 8 cycles
Post-bioselection: Radiation + toripalimab monotherapyEXPERIMENTALPatients with CR, with preoperative N0 disease or N+ disease with no extranodal extension upon neck dissection. Induction Treatment: toripalimab 240mg IV+carboplatin (AUC 5)+paclitaxel (175 mg/m\^2) IV Q Continuation Treatment: Radiation therapy as per the Intervention Description + toripalimab 240mg IV monotherapy for 8 cycles
Interventions
NameTypeDescription
ToripalimabDRUGA monoclonal antibody (recombinant humanized programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) monoclonal antibody that acts as a checkpoint inhibitor) used for the treatment of melanoma and nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
CarboplatinDRUGA chemotherapy medication classified as an alkylating agent. It contains the metal platinum, which binds to DNA in cancer cells, preventing their replication and leading to cell death. This mechanism makes it effective against rapidly dividing cells, such as cancer cells.
CisplatinDRUG\*Can be used in place of carboplatin at the investigator's discretion. A chemotherapy medication classified as an alkylating agent. It contains the metal platinum, which binds to DNA in cancer cells, preventing their replication and leading to cell death. This mechanism makes it effective against rapidly dividing cells, such as cancer cells.
PaclitaxelDRUGA chemotherapy drug that works by slowing or stopping cancer cell growth.
Radiation TherapyRADIATIONMegavoltage energy photon beam irradiation. Any treatment planning and delivery system that has been credentialed for head and neck intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT). Simultaneous integrated boost and sequential boost techniques (discretion of treating physician). Total doses delivered to each Planning Target Volume (PTV) (in 33-35 fractions): High: 70 Gy, Boost (if applicable): 66 Gy, Intermediate: 60-63 Gy, Elective: 56-57 Gy A sequential boost will consist of treatment of the combined PTVs 25 fractions followed by three sequential cone-downs targeting (Intermediate + Boost + High); (Boost + High); and High. Total doses for the PTVs: High: 70 Gy, Boost (if applicable): 66 Gy, Intermediate: 60 Gy, Elective: 50 Gy.
